Abstract The field of rotating packed bed (RPB) and its applications in the transfer processes are multidisciplinary in nature. Achievement of significant volume reduction by employing the RPB in distillation towers has been fairly established in the mass transfer domain. Nevertheless, the prospect of RPB in the heat transfer domain still remains dormant. The current work addresses this very issue by exploring the characteristics of thermal transactions across the novel RPB device. This study succinctly presents the related aspects with multi-phase flow of participating fluids in the counter-current direction across the porous, rotating packed bed structure. However, the simultaneous involvement of these multivariate intrinsic attributes makes the understanding of the transfer phenomenon quite complex upon viewing from the experimental perspective alone. Hence, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool has been used for assimilation of the physical understanding of the thermal transactions along with the effects of operating parameters. The thermal contours, main effect and surface plots for heat transfer rate directly contribute towards better appreciation of the thermal transaction mechanism and could be employed for suitable volume reduction in heat exchanger devices.

The rotating packed bed is a new and effective mass transfer equipment. However, because of the complexity fluid flow inside the RPB, the flow experiment are not easy to lead to the deeper understanding on the fluid dynamic in an RPB. To explore the internal flow field distribution of rotating packed bed , the internal flow field in counter-current double packing rotating packed bed was studied. At the same time, the flow field changes in different rotating speed was compared and the liquid distribution between the two layer of packing was performanced.

Expression have been derived in the paper for all four possible transfer functions between the inlet and the outlet gas and liquid steams under the counter-current absorption of a poorly soluble gas in a packed bed column. The transfer functions have been derived for the axially dispersed model with stagnant zone in the liquid phase and the axially dispersed model for the gas phase with interfacial transport of a gaseous component (PDE - AD). calculations with practical values of parameters suggest that only two of these transfer functions are applicable for experimental data evaluation.

Gas phase back mixing has been measured in a column packed with vertical expanded metal sheet under the counter-current flow of gas and liquid by the static method using a tracer. The observed experimental concentration profiles has not confirmed our earlier proposed model of back mixing, based on the concentration profiles in absorption runs. These profiles do not even conform with the axially dispersed plug flow model currently used to describe axial mixing in packed bed columns. The concentration profiles may be described by a combination of the axially dispersed plug flow model with back flow.
